Proposal “Opportunities to Partner with the Manitoba Trucking Industry on GHG Reduction” Prepared in response to “Tomorrow Now, Manitoba’s Green Plan”, a policy document of the Government of Manitoba. Co-authored and jointly submitted by the Manitoba Trucking Association and 50by30. Submitted April 2014 to Manitoba government Manitoba Trucking Efficiency Initiative

Proposal - Goal “double-green” increase potential for profit in Manitoba trucking industry by improving efficiency -reduce MegaJoules per tonne-kilometer reduce GHG emissions from road freight transportation -in Manitoba -everywhere Manitoba trucks haul freight Manitoba Trucking Efficiency Initiative

2. New Generation Wide-Base Tires goal: to permit NGWBT on select MB roads all roads classified by MIT as RTAC routes - by “NGWBT” we mean 445 & 455, or wider Manitoba Trucking Efficiency Initiative

2. New Generation Wide-Base Tires Effect on pavement, best current knowledge: Al-Qadi & Wang (2009) “Evaluation of pavement damage due to new tire designs” -Wide-base tire causes greater fatigue damage and subgrade rutting than dual-tire assembly » However, the relative damage ratios between various configurations at the same load decrease as the pavement thickness increases. -Wide-base tire causes less top-down cracking, “near-surface” cracking, and HMA rutting damage than dual-tire assembly -Using a wide-base 455 tire results in the least amount of pavement damage for an interstate road, slightly greater damage for a primary road, and more damage for a local road.
